Kurgalsky Peninsula, Protected nature reserve in Leningrad Oblast, Russia.
The Kurgalsky Peninsula extends into the Gulf of Finland, creating two separate bays: Narva Bay on the west and Luga Bay on the east.
The peninsula received official protection status as a Ramsar Wetland site on September 13, 1994, encompassing 65,000 hectares of diverse ecosystems.
The peninsula contains several Izhorian villages where inhabitants maintain traditional fishing practices and maritime activities along the coastline.
Visitors can explore extensive wetlands, mixed forests, and coastal meadows throughout the peninsula, which stretches between coordinates 59°40'N and 28°09'E.
The wetland system supports numerous threatened plant species, mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles within its varied habitats including Sphagnum fens and reedbeds.
